RGB challenge - M31

[Mr_42tr0nomy]

Hey guys! I grabbed 3 hours old RGB data on M31 under bortle 4 skies. I processed it one time and have never gone back to it. I’m very pleased with the results and this camera never ceased to amaze. A very underrated camera in my opinion. Hope you all enjoy

1 hour each RGB (12x900s)

William Optics 102mm apo, Orion Atlas, ATIK 414ex moon, qhy5l-11, WO 70mm guide scope.

Beautiful picture!

Just to be certain, this is old data or 3 hours old like in you took it 3 hours ago? :-)

So that's an hour per channel in R and G and B?

To enter the competition, the data must be taken between specified dates...... 1st December is the start date I believe. Your post suggests this is old data? If I have misunderstood the wording in the original post then I apologise.

[Mr_42tr0nomy]

I’m sorry you all, I meant 3 hours OF** data. Not OLD ?. That’s my mistake

Remarkable image. The dust tendrils spiraling into the core seem to hover above the galaxy, rather than being in it. I don't think I've ever seen this before in an Andromeda image.

So to be clear, one hours of each red green and blue using 10 minute exposures. Taken dec 1 and dec 2 in Pine, Colorado.

That's a really nice image there! I love the colors, and the contrast seems just about right too.
